LEWIS B. CARPENTER, OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK.

LAMP-FASTENING.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 11,354, dated July 25, 1854;.

i To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEWIS B. CARPENTER, of Buffalo, in the county ofErie, State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Mode ofConstructing Section Globe Lanterns, which I term a Conductors Lantern;andI do hereby declare the follow ing is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the construction and operation of the'same, referencebeing had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification,in which- Figure 1 is a front View; Fig. 2 aside view with lamp potremoved; Fig. 3 a view of the lamp pot; Fig. 4; a top view of a sectionfrom A.to B. Fi 5 is ametallic spring band which is cl asped around thebody or over the shoulder and the lantern is attached to it so that thesupporter of the lantern mayhave the use of both hands. Fig. 6 is aclasp which is sometimes used instead of the band.

Let the same letters refer to the same parts. Then A will represent thetop of the lantern, B the bottom, C the pot, D D the burners, E theconcave metal back, F F the reflector attached to the back, G G thesectional globe,

H H H H H are the guard wires.

I is the handle. J J are the levers. K K are their fulcrums.

L is a spring.

M M are pins which hold the pot .C in the bottom B.

N N are the holes for the pins.

M M O is a clasp or hook on the back E, by which the lantern is hung onthe belt (Fig. 5) or any other device for that purpose.

P is a loop to close and secure the clasp (Fig. 6) to the outer garmentsor any device which the supporter may have for that purpose instead ofusing the band.

I construct my lanternin any out the usual styles and with the usualappurtenances with this difierence-I use a section of a globe and aconcave metal back instead of a whole globe. I make the top and bottomof the lantern to correspond with the concave back and section globe. Tothe inside of this back E, I affix one or more reflectors F F. I furthersecure my lamp pot in the lantern by means of pins M M fitting in thecorresponding holes N N. These pins are worked by levers J J by pressureon their ends at Q. They are also thrown into their holes N N by theact-ion of the spring L. Instead of these holes I sometimes use slots ora flute or groove with proper pins or jets projecting from the levers.

I claim as my invention- The combination of the spring Lwith the leversJ J having the pins or stud M M which work through the holes-N N into aslot or groove constructed and arranged in the manner and for thepurposes set forth.
